Just to clarify, I don't mind 'constructive' criticism, I don't think any mapper does. The issue here is when somebody makes a criticism in a way that is a put down by using personal invective. If somebody wants to call me a 'loser' they had better do it to my face {no an emoto-icon does not let them off the hook.}
I think most mappers (including myself) do appreciate good 'constructive' criticism. However, if somebody takes it upon themself to use a put down, they had better have a very good map they can show the World.
Cheers.
However, it does have some major "learning map" type issues, notably the lava boxing effect and the two areas were you fall behind the map and get stuck (unless you can rocketjump out). It's far from perfect, but I liked it.
If you're going to release something, you have to expect criticism and nice,insightful comments. You can ignore the stupid criticism (you think people who work at musicals or plays go swear at people when they get a bad review?) or not, it's up to you.
But as of right now, 434 people have downloaded your map. To me that's plenty of exposure, I'd be very surprised if you didn't get one bad comment (and I don't think Monkey's was even serious).

You are without doubt one of the most gutless cock-sniffers and cowardly wankers I have ever had the misfortune of reading.
Yes, this is a first map- but, by the way you are spouting-off you must have produced one fantastic map. Please tell the World just what that map is so we can all play it.
Its easy (and cheap) to criticise somebody else. What you do have to get your miniscule brain around is things such as game flow and originality.
So where is your great map you snivelling dick-head who hides in the shadows....

This is level is one of the most atmospheric I have ever played. It has a look which is quite 'unique' and the game play is superb.
Great map Dark_Prophet!
